Me and Elise sharing a Bed in a room. I start packing my bag and Mike is there. I'm packing my black duffle bag, but not with clothes, with objects like makeup and tools and art supplies. We started off in a New York hotel, it was me, Becky, Meri Leblanc and one other girl I can't remember. We were in this hallway with huge windows and white marble floors: we were standing in front of an elevator, one of the girls pushed the button and disappeared inside, the elevator was too small for the rest of us to fit in all together. I, Becky, and the other girl stood in front of this elevator confused, Becky exclaimed that she didn't know what to do next. There was a man next to us, he was partially bald, short, and had glasses. He was wearing a tan trench coat. He smiled and said he would help. He pressed the elevator button going up and stood in front of me. I looked at Becky and mouthed "what the hell does he think he's doing? He cut in front of me". The elevator dinged, the door was now twice as small as it was before, there were two cute guys standing inside, probably in charge of the elevator. One had light brown hair. They were dressed like pilots. Becky and I stood in the doorway to the elevator unsure what to do. One of the pilots exclaimed, "well are you getting on or not.". After some hesitation, I stepped into the elevator and went to the back, in front of me stood two other people, I looked out to see Becky still standing there, and Meri gone. All of a sudden I heard "hold on I forgot something! I'm coming!" and she comes sprinting from around the corner with her bags. The gets into the elevator and the door closes. One of the cute guys pressed the up button and he start to go up. When I look out at the window that's in the elevator, I notice we continue to go up higher than the building is tall. Suddenly we're in an airplane flying over New York, my black duffle bag, black and silver rimmed computer case, book bag, and camera case are all at my feet. It's a small plane, the size of the elevator and we're all standing as we fly. Suddenly we dive and start barrel rolling, although none of us are moving, the hatch appears open and our bags are flying around crazily. We pass 3 colorful, rectangular buildings that are leaning forward like the leaning tower of Pisa, I then watch my computer case and duffle bag fly out of the plan and land in a bright green, grassy backyard filled with objects and junk. After watching my stuff fall out of the plane, I demand we land. We land in some grassy field at the bottom end of a field. I run and collect the rest of my bags. The pilot comes running down the hill yelling at me to hurry up if we want to find my stuff in time. I run back and forth forgetting a bag each time. I walk up the hill and see Alyse and Amber next to a light black, dirty looking pickup truck. They say hi to me, the pilot gets into the bed of the truck and I load my stuff in. I go to sit up front, but Alyse is in the drivers seat and Amber is riding shotgun, there's cup holders in between them. I tell them my bags fell out of the plan either before or after we passed the colorful leaning buildings. I go to sit in the bed of the truck with the pilot and my bags and we start driving. We're driving down this forest road, and this older lady with gray/blonde hair speeds up behind us in a white SUV. She starts honking so I slam my middle finger against the back window as I'm now sitting in the back seat of the truck. She honks again so I put both of my middle fingers up towards her. Every time she honks I flip her off. We arrive at the backyard of someone's house. It's very grassy and green, fenced in by a very tall, chestnut brown fence, and filled with all types of things including laptop cases that look almost similar to mine. All of them are black and gray, but they have red designs on them. We start searching, each one found contains a laptop with someone else's name on it, a broken laptop, or a laptop that's not a mac. I try to climb the fence and look over at the neighbors yard. In it, is a single laptop case. I carefully climb down, and standing in the sliding door window is a figure of a man. He stands there and points at us what looks to be a hose of some sort. I raise my hands and nervously laugh. I try to explain to him what happened, he stands there for a second moment more and brings forward an old HP laptop. He hands it to me and tells me I'm lucky he keeps it in such great condition. I look ok the screen and see all the old apps, word, PowerPoint, even an extremely old version of photoshopCC. I start to panic because I have to use a Mac for school, but thank him and think about how I can finally play zoo tycoon on this laptop. We leave and go next door. The house has a glass front door, inside the carpets are cream, there's two couches, once against my wall, and one perpendicular to it. Both sit facing a television against the wall parallel to mine. To the left, a lit hallway to what looks like a kitchen. I quietly tap on the glass with my finger nail. Laying on the couch to my left is a young boy with dark brown hair. I speak through the glass, asking him if I can speak to his grandparents. He looks up startled but sits up and tells me I can come on in. I walk in and go to the kitchen where an elderly man, and my Mina stand. I start off with, "hi, my name is Jessica Bobik, and I go to Kent State university in Ohio, I was one a plane and the pilot suddenly started corkscrewing and the hatch was open and all of our bags flew, mine either landed somewhere before or after the colorful rectangular buildings---", but before I could finish the old man smiled and said he knew why I was here.
